The orchid is a very capricious plant and can begin to dry out even in an ideal substrate.
We'll tell you how to prevent this plant from drying out.
Why does the orchid dry up?
If an orchid dries in a high-quality substrate, it most likely has not been changed for a long time.
Even an ideal substrate will eventually become unusable. It is advisable to replace the substrate every two to three years.
However, this can only be done when there are no flowers on the plant.
It is also extremely important that the substrate is not too dense, the orchid roots need air.
Another common reason for orchid drying out is overuse of fertilizers.
Inexperienced gardeners should use only special fertilizers for orchids in strict accordance with the instructions.
